Before you buy
- Ensure there is at least one healthy node present; a cutting without a node cannot produce new growth
- For variegated forms, check that the variegation pattern appears on the newest growth and shows no signs of reversion to green
- Inspect the underside of leaves for spider mites (fine webbing or stippling) which are common on pothos-family plants
- Confirm the cutting has visible roots or a healthy node before purchasing, since unrooted cuttings require propagation experience to succeed

Scindapsus treubii 'Moonlight Variegated' care
- Substrate
- Well-draining mix: 40% perlite, 40% potting compost, 20% orchid bark.
- Watering
- Water when the top 3–4 cm is dry. These are generally forgiving and will tolerate slight drought better than overwatering.
- Humidity
- 50–70% preferred. Most varieties in this group are more adaptable to typical indoor conditions than true aroids.
- Feeding
- Balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength every 2 weeks in spring and summer. Monthly in winter.
- Repotting
- Every 12–18 months when root-bound. These vining plants grow quickly and may need annual repotting in peak years.
Common problems
Yellowing leaves
Cause: Overwatering or too little light
Fix: Allow to dry more between waterings; move to a brighter position
Loss of variegation (for variegated forms)
Cause: Insufficient light causing reversion to green
Fix: Move to a brighter position; variegated leaves need more light to maintain their pattern
Root rot
Cause: Overwatering or compacted substrate
Fix: Repot into fresh well-draining substrate; reduce watering frequency
